New to this area, I am trying to find a dentist for my family. The first dentist was wonderful, but required an additional payment of my next born child for services. I have an awesome 80% dental coverage through work, and the old dentist accepted it as 100% payment. Was that just a fluke?

Yes. They aren't supposed to do that.

Of course it was a fluke. Your old dentist was a nice person. There is no requirement that a dentist take any less than 100% of what he charges for his services.
You can look around. There may be a few in your new area who do the same. (But don't expect them to advertise the fact.)

I can't believe you decided to pay those crooks. you went for a basic, they give you the deep cleaning (deep cleaning your pockets) and you are cool with that. How can you agree to pay?, they fooled you. If you go to a restaurant and ask for the $20 special, you can't be fooled into taking the $100 diner and then threatened you with a lawsuit.

Each dentist is different, and not many will just hack 20% off the bill. You'll have to ask them.
