No, they don't.
But over a long period of time, partial denture can put a lot of force on the anchor teeth.

They can, as they place stresses on supporting teeth.

Eventually partial dentures apply force on other teeth that may damage them. Discuss this with your dentist.

If the partial denture is very rigid (not bendable) and the teeth that support the partial denture are compromised, then it will expedite the loss of the supporting teeth. A flexible partial (bendable) would be the best partial option. Be well!
