How far failed? If it is loosens, it will come out easily; sometimes it just falls out. If failing, but not totally failed, it must be anesthetized and either screwed out or separated from the bone with special instruments.

Depends on a number of factors, sometimes is can be reversed out, or removed with a trephine bur, or even by hand
It depends on the situation but generally similar to removing a tooth.
Failed implant removal is similar to the original tooth extraction. We numb you up, remove the implant, clean up and remove any infected or damaged tissue. Ideally, you should have a bone graft added to the area in preparation for a new implant later. A new implant or a bridge can placed at a later date to replace the missing tooth.
Unscrew it out with local anesthesia
