If you meet the minimum entry requirements for Bristol - including the 5 specified Chemistry units and GCSE Maths 7 and English 4 - your BTEC application will be considered alongside A level applications and the Uni will not 'prefer' them over a BTEC application. Be aware that you also need to take UKCAT for Dentistry at Bristol - and because this score is how Bristol selects for Interview, you will need a very high result.

Bristol accepts BTEC - see the entry requirements- BDS Dentistry | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol
