Steam them out???

Yep - It takes some care and that is why Mike suggested Googling. The
process usually involves putting a damp cloth over the dent and VERY
CAREFULLY applying heat with a hot iron (or similar source). This
forces small amounts of steam into the wood fibers, expanding the
wood. On finished wood, that hasn't been marred, you might have to
introduce a few small needle pricks to allow the seam past the
finish. I have pulled dents mostly out of table tops without filling.

Now - I have said too much. The OP needs to follow the original
suggestion and Google for some YouTube or other direction. If you
screw up you can stain the wood.

I wasn't questioning steaming it out. It was a suggestion - as in
"have you thought to steam it out?"
