bumper question

I have a 1997 expedition 4wd and I just bought the car about a month ago and there is a gap between the front bumper and grille like the bumper had been pushed down by an accident or something minor. is there a way to adjust it? or do i just buy new bumper mounts , new bumper, or both?
