Morphology
The meaning 'the branch of dentistry that improves appearance' is directly and transparently composed from 'cosmetic' (relating to appearance) modifying 'dentistry' (dental medical specialty). This adjective + noun compound follows a common composition pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Cosmetic dentistry joins cosmetic, a word like 'makeup' that means 'to make beautiful', and dentistry, the care of teeth. When dentists began offering work not only to fix problems but to make smiles look nicer, the phrase came to mean 'dental work to improve the appearance of teeth and gums'.
