Is Pre-Dental right for me?

I am a high school senior and I have wanted to be a dentist for a while. However, I think going to college for pre-dental is a huge risk. I would major in biology, but the degree is useless if you don't make it into grad school. I do not know how I would stack up in college weed out courses. I feel like engineering is a much safer, but also much more boring route. I am basing the school I go to based on my major (VCU for pre-dental and UVA or VTech for engineering). Should I take the risk... Is Pre-Dental right for me?
