Vayosmitham

We started as a small interior design firm in downtown Michigan, aiming to help home buyers make do with the new space that they had acquired. It soon became obvious that it would make sense to help our clients see beyond the walls and floor plans and be there with them from the get-go. Currently, we offer house realtor, interior design, and architecture services in order to help our customers find their forever homes as seamlessly and painlessly as possible.

Our mission

Vayosmitham is dedicated to enhancing the oral health and overall well-being of older adults through education, awareness, and preventive care. We strive to provide comprehensive oral health screenings, identify dental issues, and raise awareness about the importance of oral hygiene among older individuals.
