FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 15, 2004

                   CRDENTIA TO ACQUIRE HEALTHCARE INNOVATIONS
                             PRIVATE SERVICES, INC.

DALLAS - NOVEMBER 15, 2004 - CRDENTIA CORP. (OTCBB: CRDE), a leading U.S.
provider of healthcare staffing services, today announced that it has entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire HealthCare Innovations Private Services,
Inc., (HCIPSI) a provider of private duty and advantage waiver services
throughout the state of Oklahoma. The transaction is expected to close, subject
to financing and customary closing conditions, within 75 days.

HCIPSI contracts with the Medicaid/Advantage Program to provide case management
and personal care services. In addition, the Company also offers hourly and
private duty home care services. Founded in 1996, HCIPSI employs nearly 1,000
personal care assistants along with a staff that includes case managers,
registered nurses, physical therapists and licensed practical nurses. The
Company has a client base of more than 2,250 consumers and its seven offices
provide service to nearly 90% of the counties in Oklahoma.

"I am delighted that HCIPSI will team-up with Crdentia as it addresses the home
healthcare services market in Oklahoma," said Crdentia's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer James D. Durham. "This is a pivotal acquisition for Crdentia
given HCIPSI's size and its expected contribution to Crdentia's growth. The
addition of HCIPSI is a significant step towards our objective of expanding our
private duty home healthcare services, which is a key part of Crdentia's
multidimensional approach to healthcare staffing."

HCIPSI owner Brian Wilson commented, "I believe the alignment with Crdentia
gives HCIPSI an unparalleled opportunity to expand our leading position in
Oklahoma's home care market. Through Crdentia's resources, strong industry
expertise and geographic breadth, we expect to capitalize on the large and
growing market opportunity within the healthcare staffing industry."

Commenting on the acquisition, Crdentia's President Pamela Atherton stated,
"HCIPSI is a well-run company with an established customer base and satisfies
several important criteria we look for in acquisition candidates. With its
specialized staffing service focus, HCIPSI will provide the cornerstone for
Crdentia's continued growth in the home healthcare marketplace. In addition,
HCIPSI has an excellent reputation evidenced by the

Company's strong market share in Oklahoma. And importantly, the transaction is
immediately accretive for Crdentia and helps provide critical mass as we move
forward with our expansion strategy."

HCIPSI represents one of several acquisitions announced by Crdentia during 2004
focusing on healthcare staffing services. Founded in August 2002, Crdentia
successfully integrated four acquisitions in 2003 and the completion of this
transaction will mark Crdentia's third acquisition in 2004. Crdentia currently
ranks among the 10 largest healthcare staffing providers in the U.S. market.

ABOUT CRDENTIA CORP.

Crdentia Corp. is one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing
services. Crdentia seeks to capitalize on an opportunity that currently exists
in the healthcare industry by targeting the critical nursing shortage issue.
There are many small, private companies that are addressing the rapidly
expanding needs of the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, due to their
relatively small capitalization, they are unable to maximize their potential,
obtain outside capital or expand. By consolidating well-run small private
companies into a larger public entity, Crdentia intends to facilitate access to
capital, the acquisition of technology, and expanded distribution that, in turn,
drive internal growth. For more information, visit www.crdentia.com.
