Is there any way of removing dents

Yes.

in pine

Very yes.

The dents have been there for a few years.

No.

The trick is some variation on laying a damp tea towel over the surface,
then ironing it. It's not necessary to dampen just the dent, the effect
is it "restore" the timber, rather than to "raise" all of it.
