dentistry career over?

in GCSE's i got 88777766555 and i am not sure if these grades are good to get into dentistry as some unis want 7 grade 7s or 8s but i only have 6 grade 7s and 8s.
Hearing poeple with 8s and 9s get rejected from dentistry course makes me even more anxious and worried.
I know some unis accept my grades but i am not sure even with high a level results i can get into the course seeing people with high gcse's, a levels and ucat scores get rejected. I would like to know if my grades in GCSE will make my acceptance to the course lower

Of course not. You definitely have a chance. As long as you don’t apply to unis that score GCSEs, you will not get rejected for your GCSEs. (Assuming u meet entry requirements). Relax and focus on the future when it comes to that. You got this!
