Try to push it out. I had one a while back and I was able to just pop it out.

I had the same area damaged by a hit and run at the mall, but was the size of a watermelon, and had to replace the whole bumper cover. Doesn't sound too big, but the paint might begin to crack.

At the size he is describing, I don't think it will crack unless the bumper was repainted before.

My damage was some where around $600, including the new cover, paint, and a new headlamp. You might be able to just get your cover repainted if the dent will pop out. Take it to a couple body shops and get some quotes.
