How to keep unnecessary parentheses in TraditionalForm?

Question

My goal is to keep the parentheses in the following code sample:

TraditionalForm@HoldForm[(CenterDot[a, b])]

The problem is that Mathematica still removes the unnecessary parentheses. How could I force Mathematica to keep them?

Maybe something like this?

TraditionalForm[PrecedenceForm[Dot[a, b], 1] + 1]
