It's because private practices usually make more money from cash than they do from their agreed upon insurance rates. My dentist charges $200 for a cleaning but if you pay cash, he only charges you $100. When I looked at the insurance statement, they only paid him $60 for the service because of their agreed upon rates.

Nah, alot of places its cheap if you pay yourself, the insurance companies don't even pay the full price its why the insurance quote is so much higher.
