Air bags where deployed, do I need to replace the air bag sensors?

Wife smacked the front of the car good enough to deploy the air bags.
(Bumper will need to be replaced along with the piece between the headlights.)

I was able to purchase replacements (air bags/computer/a reel) off of ebay for $125.
Then someone mentioned that I will need to replace the sensors located in the fenders because once they have been tripped, they are useless.
True?

Where is a good place to get replacement sensors are a decent price?

Yes the sensors are 'one shot'.

I need a place to buy the sensors from at a reasonable price.
Any ideas?
