You don't need to breed her again, once they start laying, they will continue to give you a clutch every 14 days or so. This will last anywhere from 2-15 clutches, depending on size and age of the gecko.
Don't feel bad about the first clutch being bad, a lot of first timers will drop an infertile first clutch.
What kind of set-up do you have for your egg laying box? You should keep the medium moist in the laybox, this will keep the eggs from drying out so fast after they are laid. Often my breeders will lay after I go to work and I don't find the eggs until the evening.
Also, just because they are dented doesn't mean they are trashed. If you place them in the incubator, most times the eggs will puff up again, assuming they were fertile to begin with...
Hope that helps.
Disappointed...
