In England the number of places is controlled through intake targets operated by the Office for Students with approximately 800 dental training places available each year. The latest available data shows the intake target was 809 training places in the 2019-20 academic year.

The provision of dentistry training places in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales is a matter for each devolved administration.
