Patience, my son. This isn't the busiest forum, give it some time.

Do you have any pictures? Is the plastic creased?

You could try popping it back out, but it'll most likely need some work.

anything is repairable. depending on how the dent is. you could take a heat gun to it and try to mold it back into shape. needs skill and time to go that route. or you could just get a new bumper.

Using a heat gun on a bumper dent is very easy. Heat the bumper up gradually just until you feel the plastic start to soften(don't hold the gun too close if you're worried about blistering the paint). push the dent out from behind while wearing insulated gloves. Once you have the dent looking sufficient, let it cool off and polish.(if the paint isn't chipping)

That gun will work fine. If the paints chipping you need to sand and paint afterwards for a factory look. It takes years to make a damaged part look like new so don't be discouraged when it still looks f'd up
