***** 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!
