Best tool to remove dust on chip marks

Hi guys

Just taken some great shots only to find there's what looks like a smudge bang in the middle of the frame. A friend has told me he thinks its dust/dirt on the chip. I've had it cleaned by Nikon and its fine now BUT how do I get rid of it ion the earlier shots?

Does anyone have any ideas as which tool in PS in most apprppriate? Unfortunately, the smudge does cover a textured area.

Any help much appreciated
