The dimple might/ should be repairable depending on it's severity.
Remove the tire and use a crescent wrench to straighten the bent section of rim. If necessary, support the backside of the rim and use a ballpeen hammer to flatten/straighten the rim. True to complete the job.
The alternative is to buy a new, inexpensive wheel. Good luck.
