Default oil pan

Hi..I just changed engine oil today and I saw a dent (I guess I hit a speed bump) on my oil pan but there was no leak. Should I change the oil pan or just leave it on? Would the dent cause any changes in oil pressure and cause damage to pistons, bearings or anything inside the engine??
