Consider these sentences:
* He/him pronouns: ''He is a dentist.''
* Singular they/them pronouns: ''They are a dentist.''
The ''he/him'' pronoun set uses singular verbs - the verb here is "is". But the ''singular they/them'' set uses plural verbs - "are". ''Singular they'' doesn't typically use singular verbs, meaning one would not usually say "they is a dentist" when using ''singular they''.
