How is the leg "permanently" attached to the table top? A simple dowel or tenon is likely not the method. Your dowel repair, as you describe, will likely not hold up, in a "permanently fixed" (as originally said) condition. The leg is most likely attached with a blind wedged dowel or tenon. I would recommend doing a similar repair, whether you use a dowel or tenon..
