Use the same techniques you would use to smooth dents in bodywork but use a heavier dolly or spoon and a bigger hammer. After you get the dents out, you finish it with a body grinder and keep taking it down with progressively finer grit sandpaper. Since it will need to be re-chromed after this, you might as well take it to a chrome shop and pay them to do the work because they are going to re-do the work you did because that's the way they roll.

If you are going to paint the bumper, you can use Bondo or other body filler like you would on any of the rest of your sheetmetal. See Link to get in touch with people who can provide tips on painting bumpers.
