Fixing a tooth is a minor surgery, not equivalent to just seeing a specialist. I'd compare it more to something like an MRI, which is comparable in price to putting a crown on a tooth.
Their prices are pretty similar after insurance; free to $30 or so for just a visit, and $500-1000 for a minor surgery or using a heavy-duty test.

So just to keep your touchstone prices in perspective, a private company near me performs diagnostic radiography.
If you are worried about a sports injury or something, you can make a booking and get an MRI, and one of their doctors will provide a report. GPS, physiotherapists etc will recommend getting scans done before treatment.
After this private clinic makes it's profit, and with no insurance involved, it's 200 dollars for an MRI. First world European country, where everyone is making plenty of profit.
You guys get hosed.
