I mean is it mandatory to perform a frenectomy in such cases?

for a diastema closure with mere composite, retention is important but has high chances of chipping

for the patient..
Another option is to use Ceramic Veneers.. they provide excellent
esthetics with minimum tooth prepration and less treatmet time..
Veneers like Lumineers sometimes even do not require ne preparation
and can be placed directly..
