Preparing dentistry application as an year 12

Hi, I have just finished one semester of year 12 and I'm really stressed about the whole application process for dentistry.

-I only have a few extracurriculars such as participating in an MUN and also starting my own dental club at school. I want to add more extracurriculars to my application but I live in the UAE and over here I cannot take part in internships neither can I volunteer at a dental clinic as it is only for those above 18 and I'm only 17.

-The A level subjects i take right now are biology, chemistry and psychology.

-I have not done my UCAT and as I'm an international student and want to study dentistry in the UK, I have to take the IELTS which I have not done yet.

These are my GCSE grades btw:-
-English Language: 9
-English Literature: 9
-Psychology: 9
-Biology: 8
-Chemistry: 8
-Math: 8
-Business: 7

Can someone please give me advice on how this whole application process works and what else I should do to improve my application? Also I need some advice about personal statement and UCAT because I literally have no idea where to get started.
Thank youu
