You can check the valves if you like but you will most likely not find any bent. But if you want piece of mind then by all means do so.
in my years of experience and doing many of these timing belt replacements i have yet to come across one that has had the valves damaged from a timing belt problem because in the majority of failures i have witnessed the belt wears and jumps teeth during the start phase of cranking and not while running.
I suppose there is a remote chance it may happen but i've never seen it happen.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
