Answer: You need to see a dentist

It is common to break a denture into 2 pieces as they fall into the sink and or floor. There is usually no home remedy for you to repair it yourself. The dentist will use the same material as the dentures are made up of. It should not be a expensive to repair and can be done the same day. Once its repaired the dentist may need to do some adjustmet to make sure it fits well again as you would need a hight speed instrument. Therefore I suggest to make a few phone calls to see who will repair it for a decent price and there are also specialist who do this only. Do not and try and fix it yourself as you may ruin it and will need new one as they will cost you alot more thant just repairing it. Good Luck
