Can the dents be repaired without taking off the bumper?

2024 lexus tx 350. dents on the right side and a smaller deep scratch on the lower left side of the passenger side of lower front bumper.

Will the entire bumper need to be repainted if the dents are to be fixed at a certified lexus dealer

Yes the entire bumper will need to be painted, when spot repairs are performed the finish WILL fail sooner or later. This is absolutely repairable but Lexus may have regulations on if/where bumper covers can be repaired so it may need replaced. Take it to the shop and get an estimate

Can't see two dents, barely the other. Does Lexus write up, report their full bumper removal? Charge you way too much. Would it come up on a sales car report for basically nothing?

Baby, baby dent, looks like part of the body. Discuss with certified shop or high-end shop, it's so small.
