dented bumper!

help! i was parked in a grocery store parking lot during a massive storm when a stray shopping cart flew out and smashed into my bumper. i know a lot of people have had success with popping it back out with little to no damage by heating it up with a hairdryer or something but i'm seeking advice on what i should do. someone at my work place said that i might as well get a new bumper as heating it and popping it back will crack the paint. also, if i was to try it, how is the whole procedure done? do i just heat it and it pops back out? do i need to take the bumper off? do i heat it and push it out?

thanks in advance!
Brian.
