Without wanting to nitpick, that looks more like a chip than a ding. Dents caused by compression can often be fixed using a soldering iron and a wet cloth to expand the compressed wood. If the wood's missing then I suppose it's a different matter and you'll need to replace that material.
Probably a polyurethane finish. I would tape off, with blue painters tape, around the chip. Tape to 1/8 " of chip. Then start spraying little poly coats,to the spot to build it up. The let it dry a couple days and take off the tape and wet sand the spot down to level starting with 800 grit. The poly urethane should give you close to the same amber. But you could do a test first. Sometimes at Lowes they have the finish over different types of wood to gauge what brand would be closest.
I'd do like BacchusPaul suggested and steam the dent out first. Be very careful not to heat the chipped finish around the dent.
You don't want it to start turning loose and chipping more. A damp cloth over the dent and touch the soldering iron to the cloth for a few seconds at a time.
Steaming out dents I can do. As far as finishes go. I got nothing.
do like cur said, taping the area off... but as you get almost done, pull the tape off and start working a slightly larger area, so the repair blends in (feathering).
I fixed similar laqueur chips just by dripping in tinted furniture varnish, rub flat with super fine paper and rebuff. You could see a slight line around the full, but it just looked like ageing
