Many different restorative materials are currently available for use in modern dentistry. Clinicians and dental technicians should be able to choose the most suitable materials for each patient based on research, anecdotal evidence, clinical experience, as well as patient's expectations and desires. The purpose of this article is to share the challenges presented in full‐mouth rehabilitation and to describe the considerations in selecting three different restorative materials to achieve a successful restoration in terms of biomechanics, function, and esthetics. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Interdisciplinary treatment planning, knowledge of available restorative materials, sequencing treatment modalities, and adequate communication between all parties involved are key to a successful treatment outcome when pursuing full‐mouth restorative rehabilitation.
