FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                    CRDENTIA APPOINTS VICKI SMITH AS INTERIM
                             CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

DALLAS - SEPTEMBER 16, 2004 - CRDENTIA CORP. (OTCBB: CRDE), a leading U.S.
provider of healthcare staffing services, today announced today that it has
appointed Vicki L. Smith, 36, as Interim Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Smith
replaces William Leftwich, who has left the Company to pursue other
opportunities. Crdentia has initiated a search for a permanent replacement for
Mr. Leftwich.

In addition to her new role as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Smith will
continue to serve as Crdentia's Vice President of Finance where she is
responsible for the Company's SEC reporting, cash flow forecasting, budgeting,
financial reporting, financial due diligence on potential acquisitions as well
as direct management of the accounting staff. Ms. Smith has played an
instrumental role at the Company and has overseen the implementation of new
financial software and analytical procedures which resulted in greatly improved
decision-making data for senior management.

Prior to joining Crdentia, Ms. Smith served as Controller for Efficient
Networks, Inc., a developer and supplier of high-speed digital subscriber line
customer premises equipment for the broadband communications market, from 1997
to 2002. From 1996 to 1997, Ms. Smith served as Assistant Controller of
Financial Security Services, Inc., a private company providing financial and
billing services to independent security alarm dealers. She began her career at
the international public accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick.

Ms. Smith holds a CPA certificate in the state of Texas and received a
bachelor's degree in Accounting from the University of Texas at Austin.

"Since joining Crdentia, Vicki has been a key member of our management team and
a valuable contributor to the development of our financial systems and
strategies," said James D. Durham, Chairman and CEO of Crdentia. "Her strong
accounting background coupled with an in-depth understanding of Crdentia's
operations and financial goals makes her ideally suited to manage the Company's
finance and accounting teams until a permanent chief financial officer is
brought on-board.

"We thank Bill Leftwich for his contributions to Crdentia's growth and wish him
well in his future endeavors," said Mr. Durham.

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.
