A dental implant (10) capable of reliably preventing elution of metal when the dental implant is applied within an oral cavity and capable of reliably preventing occurrence of mismatching (bumpy occlusion or the like) when the dental implant is fixed in place, and a method for manufacturing the dental implant are provided. In the method for manufacturing a dental implant including an abutment (2), the abutment is manufactured through the steps including a ceramic molded body production step for molding a ceramic molded body composition to obtain a ceramic molded body, an assembling step for assembling a titanium member and the ceramic molded body together to obtain an assembled body, a degreasing step for degreasing the assembled body so that the ceramic molded body is transformed into a ceramic degreased body, and a sintering step for sintering the assembled body to transform the ceramic degreased body into a ceramic member (22) so that the ceramic member is firmly fixed to the titanium member (21).
