Can I Get Veneers if I Have Bruxism? I Diligently Wear a Customised Occlusal Splint. (photo)

A few things I would like you to think about when choosing what is right for you.  Do not go for the cheaper more eaay to repair, but look for something that is a little more durable and esthetically pleasing and life like since these are your front teeth, Another thing to think about is even if you wear your bite guard at night, do you grind your teeth during the day and if you do, you need to determine if you are wearing down the front teeth, If you are, the night guard will help at night, but will not help with the excessive force placed on those veneers during the day from grinding.  Check with your dentist which teeth are worn down from bruxism....if they are the front teeth, I would find a neuromuscular dentist who is trained to correct your bite and eliminate the grinding and stress on your teeth!  Good luck and do your homework and seek consultations from other dentists before you make this decision!

Although porcelain veneers are harder and more resistant to stain, there are some very nice composite materials on the market that hold color very well and are quite strong.  More importantly, the investment is less.  If cost is no option and you are willing to have one or more of them redone if they fail, go for the porcelain.  If you are considering the composite based on cost, then you may want to have your veneers done in a lab cured composite material and bonded on, similar to how porcelain veneers are bonded.  Lab composites can be about half of the cost of traditional veneers depending on your dentist.  They can be very beautiful and are quite durable for people who brux.  These types of restorations may wear slightly faster than porcelain, but my experience has been that they do not split or fracture as easliy as porcelain might from the same types of pressure or forces.  They are less brittle than porcelain.  Discuss the option with your dentist of trying composite for a few years and then "upgrading" to porcelain at a reduced fee in the future.
