Bench program for DB bench?

Hey guys, so I’ve been stuck at the same weight on my bench for a while. Dumbbell bench press that is. I don’t really like doing barbell bench since it takes a long time, and will need a spotter. Would it be okay if I hopped on a bench program such as Smolov bench program and replaced the barbell bench with dumbell flat bench?

I understand these programs are meant for powerlifting, however, when I say stuck on my weight for bench for a while I mean I’ve tried everything.
