Is there any type of bonding that doesn't depend on acidity as much?
My gums are receding and I have small cavities there. Just like the
tiles on the space shuttle, the bonding isn't made for shear
strees. Furthermore my acid reflux (and vomiting about wice a year)
doesn't bode too well. I have to drink plenty of milk the first day
after any bonding or it falls of a week later.
Is there any type of bonding that doesn't depend on acidity as much?
My late dad (1920-2002 - died of stomach cancer, what else? so did his
brother) used to drive dentists nuts in the 1970s having them remove
his teeth rather than fix them. I have to admit, I'm starting to feel
his exasperation.

Have you sought medical treatment for the acid reflux (GERD)? That's
the first thing that you should consider doing. Try to eliminate the
source of the problem. Often it isn't a problem with the restoration,
but of the natural tooth structure eroding away. Glass ionomer
restorations might be a good choice for restoration of cervical
erosion.
I wonder if frequent fluoride or baking soda type mouthrinsing might
be something to try. You could also try a high fluoride toothpaste
like Prevident 5000 from Colgate.

What's the average cost of an NTI? Just curious.

Depending on where you are and what is being treated.
$300-$800
