# What materializations are available in dbt?

dbt ships with five built-in materializations: `view`, `table`, `incremental`, `ephemeral`, and `materialized_view`. Check out the documentation on [materializations](../../docs/build/materializations.md) for more information on each of these options.

You can also create your own [custom materializations](../../guides/create-new-materializations.md). This is an advanced feature of dbt.
