or put a dent on the opposite side to make it symmetrical.

i saw this, thought it was cool

heat up the dent with a hair dryer for 1 min on high, about 3 inches away.

use a compressed air can (keyboard duster) turn it upside down, and cool the dent.

pop! mother nature takes care of the rest

i'd like to know if it works or not. I think it wont work on small dents b/c they are "creased" which means more force to undo it, the cold/hot action wont resolve it. But if you have a big "dent" not a "Ding" it should work.

well how big are the dents and where are they?

If they have a crown or raised area around them (they should) tap that down and they might pop right out ( try pushing or pulling the low spot up at the same time), unless the metal stretched then you would need to heat it with a torch and take a shrinking hammer to it to get it right again, if you didn't they'd have a tin can effect.
