Really depends on if it is on the plastic or on the metal. There are some companies with Vacuum suction cups which can pull out dents without having to remove a part. This is a good idea because it is the least obtrusive. It is also good to have a PRO do this because with the proper temperature, you may not need to repaint the part.

Some bumpers have only Styrofoam to hold the shape of the skin. Others are metal backed. With any luck, your bumper has not shifted out of alignment.

Some metal dents can be bumped back by a Pro, but may lead to peeling if chrome. Probably better to get a Salvage bumper from a Yard and replace the metal type. You have a very popular model and parts should be cheap and plentiful.
