Usage Note
Dentista is common gender — the same form serves both sexes: el dentista (male dentist), la dentista (female dentist). Do not say la dentisto. A related, slightly more technical term is odontólogo/a, which is the formal professional title used in medical and legal contexts.
Examples
"Tengo cita con el dentista el martes."
Natural Translation
I have an appointment with the dentist on Tuesday.
