Implants fail

Implants can fail with the best surgeon with immediate and non immediate surgeries. It's is completely fine to replace the implant in 3 months.

Safe to redo implant

I would make sure the bone has had plenty of time to heal, 3-4 months will probably be sufficient. After proper healing it would be safe to place another implant. Failures don't happen often, but they do happen. Sometimes the body just needs a little more healing time before placement.
