Maria is having an appointment to the dentist tommorrow. Click to expand... ***** NOT A TEACHER ***** Good morning, Chang. (1) I think it would be helpful if you said: Maria has an appointment at the dentist's office tomorrow. (a) Many native speakers shorten that to: at the dentist's / at the dentist (2) I think that many native speakers are also comfortable with an appointment WITH the dentist. (3) I would not use "to." Have a nice day!
