Bench press causes shoulder pains, can I replace with flies, dips, etc?

I have developed unfortunate shoulder pains on my right shoulder from bench pressing / dumbbell pressing. So I was wondering… would my chest still get good workouts if I completely replace bench press or dumbbell bench press with other excersizes?
For example, flies… dips… and other suggestions? Will I still develope big pecs without any bench pressing or dumbbell pressing?

Try to focus on the lower abdominals by crunches and all that and resting your shoulders from bench pressing until the pain is completely gone. You will still achieve a good core but not a complete core until you can go back to bench pressing when the pain is gone.
If the pain comes back, I think you should stop bench pressing period.
