Is it dangerous to drive if you need the wheel bearings replaced?

It can be very dangerous. You certainly don't want to be on the freeway when the bearing finally goes and the wheel falls off. Yes. Definately. If the grease is completely gone, the bearing can heat up and get so hot that the wheel could lock up and cause the car to spin out of control.
