Your GCSE results are strong and won’t limit you from applying to most universities. For competitive courses like Dentistry, universities mainly look at A-level subjects (Chemistry and Biology), predicted grades, work experience, and admissions tests.
If you’re unsure about dentistry, your current subjects also keep options open for well-paid careers in healthcare, science, research, and other clinical routes. It’s best to check individual university entry requirements as they can vary.

If you look at individual course pages on Uni websites you will see that they will clearly state any specific GCSE subjects/grade requirements for that course - typically just Maths and English. Most top Unis, or any competitive course like Dentistry, will also assess your overall 'GCSE profile' as part of application - but this will typically form only a tiny part of that scoring. Your A level predicted grades, Personal statement and any required aptitude test scores will always be far more important.
