Checking flop is a must or at the very least check turn. The hands you are currently beating don't have too much equity (kk, QJT9, hands like that) so not a lot of reason to try to get them to fold. I understand part of you wants to charge fd's but in general most players will bet their fd's without an ace in a 3 bet pot on an ace high board. Even so, letting the few fd's realize their equity is a small price to pay as pot control is a much larger factor in this hand. The hands that call your flop bet usually have you in a decently low ev spot and you open yourself up for a check raise. By checking back the flop you keep the entirety of his range in and dont have to worry about getting called by hands like AQJT etc.
