Wash the dents thoroughly with a sponge and soapy water, and then allow the water residue to fully dry. Removing dust and dirt from the door's dents prior to fixing them is important to ensure the body filler adheres to the door.
Dip a putty knife into a can of body filler, and rub the filler into the dents on the door. The filler is available at home supply stores and auto supply stores. It's a putty-like substance that is also ideal for filling dents in cars. Allow the body filler to dry for the amount of time indicated on the instructions.
Sand the excess body filler off the door with 220-grit sandpaper. Avoid sanding so much that you make a divot in the filler; the transition between the filler and the door should be smooth.
Prime the spots on the door that you filled with primer suitable for using on body filler. Allow the primer to dry for the length of time specified on the can.
Paint over the primed areas with paint that matches the garage door.
