Default Help! First scratch and ding on passenger side door.

Help! I need some advice. I got my first ding on my passenger side door. The car was garaged and covered! A coffee table fell off a stack of junk and fell against my door. I couldn't believe it! I've been depressed for two days now.
Help! Is there an easy way to repair it? Who and where? It is a very small ding and scratch. Does the entire door have to be done? I have touch up paint but wouldn't attempt it. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. Should I just leave it be or can a detailer do something about it? Body shop? It just really bugs me because the car is otherwise flawless. What has your experiece been with dings and scratches?
Thanks in advance.

I just went to Dentpro in Redwood City on El Camino just south of 84. I think the guy's name was Gary. He did a great job on two dings for $150. Not sure if that was a good price and no paint was needed.

Just a follow up. Dent Pro knocked out the ding yesterday. They didn't want to do paint touch up. With AAA it cost me $71. No sign of the dent. Took 10 minuets at most of that was taken up by them marveling my car.
Later!

When I was backing up my car, my sidemarker got caught on the wooden gate. The sidemarker itself broke off and also caused a dent right behind the sidemarker w/ slight paint chips. I went to Capitol Collision, they estimated the damage to be $760. Since I will be paying for this out of my own pocket I decided to try out Dent Pro and see how it works out with them first. I was estimated $129 at Dent Pro and it took them less than 45 minutes to get the dent out along with the light touch-up. Overall the work was excellent, can't tell the difference at all, except for a 1/2mm dab of touch-up paint right under the sidemarker.
