    You haven't provided enough information about yourself and the experience you have in dental related fields for us to tell you whether you have a chance. With a 2.1 in biomedical science you're on the right path.

    1) Make sure the university you're applying to will accept your degree
    2) Find out whether they want a 2.1 or 1.1
    3) Find out what a-level requirements they also want (some ask for BBB, CCC, pass, etc, others don't even look at a-level when u have a degree)
    4) Decide wether you want to apply to the 4 year course or the 5 year course
    5) Find out if an admissions test is required i.e UKCAT, GAMSAT
    6) Find out how much work experience the school expects you to have (some say min 10 says, 2 weeks, others say longer)

    Work hard to get higher grades. A graduate degree will help your chances to get into dental school.
