I’d surmise that a “run of the mill” (if that is an acceptable term) Rolex with a damaged wood dial would have the option of replacement with a era & reference correct dial.
But a special Rolex (like the OQ with a birch/walnut dial pictured in an earlier post) would likely get appointed to the Restoration Atelier.
If the dial needed attention, it would be either restored, or replaced by a duplicate dial made from scratch with period-correct materials and techniques.
This, of course, would be a Rolex and customer negotiated price and process.
