The “in-network” thing is anyoing. As long as the place has a license and hasn’t been a issue, they should be “in-network”.
Having insurance tied to a job doesn’t help either. if you/family member needs specialist care, so you find a fantastic doctor, but oops your job changed insurance provider and now your doc is out of network.
Complaints aside, if you’re actually having trouble finding a dentist; go to your insurance’s website, they probably have a “find a dentist” tool or something.
I hear you. The challenge is what the insurer is willing to pay for the services the dentist provides. At the end of the day, the deal is “we are bringing more patients to you by being in our network, so you’ll take less money for your services in exchange.” And sometimes the numbers just don’t make sense for the doctor to accept.

Yeah, just a 3 hour drive away.
That bad? Do you work remote or something? That’s the only reason I can that your work would go with a provider with no dentists nearby.
