Basically my dentist described it as I'm grinding my teeth with such
force that the teeth are flexing ever so much and this force is
breaking the bond with the filling. I mentioned whether there are
better options over a nightguard - which doesn't seem to help,
hinting at an NTI or similar device, he shook his head indicating
that he felt the NTIs had their own set of problems and weren't worth
it.
Two comments:
Retention grooves.
The NTIs do not have 'their own set of problems'.
(just 7 years of experience and hundreds made)

I have to wonder why he would have said that then. It wasn't out of ignorance, he isn't a bad dentist, nor does he appear uneducated. Is there an advantage to using a normal nightguard over an NTI device or vice versa?
As to the retention grooves, I believe he isn't using them due to the extreme shallowness of the cavity. It isn't large by any means, but at the time it was extremely sensitive so he opted to repair it. I'm not defending him by an means, but rather explaining it - I'm sure diagnosing over a newsgroup is extremely difficult.
