If the picture shows the whole dent, it doesn't look like much? You may be able to drill a series of small holes in the dent then use a slide hammer to pull the dent, one end of the slide hammer screws into the small hole.

Can you tap out the dent from the under side of hood? Or remove the hood, then tap out the dent? I'm really not a body person. I can't tell if headlamp assembly is busted?

If you use small holes, when your finished, you can use body filler or something for the holes. Sand it down and prime it.
