The only way you're going to find out if the battery is functioning properly is by placing it back in the machine and see if it works OK. Take it through a charge - discharge cycle. It's unlikely a dent in the battery would cause it to damage your machine, but if you feel uncomfortable about it purchase a new battery from Apple.

Regards.
