Naturally you can say the same things in Spanish, but they are usually said in a more direct manner. For example a Spanish speaker would normally not say , I'm having my teeth cleaned Tuesday(voy a tener limpiado mis dientes martes ) Instead you would say something like voy (al dentista) para limpiar los dientes.

Technically you can use tener plus the past participle, but is sounds a bit odd or rarified. Native speakers my be able to clarify this, but perhaps you can use tener + past participle for special projects like el conservador del museo tuvo
su Rembrandt restaurado por expertos de Italia.
